Affiliation. Association. Friendship.

Affiliation, Association, Friendship. 

All of that and more for the past 5 years I’ve been sharing with Simon Moores & Co…both of us arriving at this moment 10 years on. 

A shared vision, mission, and purpose too in how what we take out of the ground ultimately cleans up what we put into the air. That’s an incredibly complex chain of events of course, and much of it seemingly counter intuitive…

Until I spotted Simon’s seminal moment here on a LinkedIn video post back in February 2019, in storytelling the challenge of mining and processing the essential critical minerals needed for the energy transition, I knew next to nothing about his world. About that complex chain of events. About squaring circles.🤔

Here in Edinburgh last night, there was an ending and a beginning. Together with the combined Benchmark Mineral Intelligence & Rho Motion Teams, we found ourselves in the esteemed company of such industry luminaries as Nobel Laureate Stan Whittingham & Prof Colin Herron CBE. Gathered together to celebrate Benchmark’s decade of enterprise, ‘Project Skyfall’ which formally ended - as the next 10 years begins…

And so to the BIG screen you see here - and that message.

EVERYTHING or NOTHING is both the title of a James Bond adventure video game, and an attitude to ambition, to adventure, to life. And a pointer to the Benchmark Team to go all in on delivery.🕺

YOU and I KNOW that the next decade needs to deliver great change in and around energy, mobility, and many more aspects of human endeavour. 

To realise that delivery we need to forge more affiliations, associations, and friendships.🤝
